Pet Food Recall

What does it mean when a pet food is recalled? Dog food recalls are vital to maintaining a safe food supply for our pets. They can be conducted in one of three ways… by a pet food company voluntarily, at the specific request of the Food and Drug Administration or by legal authority. Recalls are almost always voluntary. Only rarely does the FDA actually request a dog food recall. Here’s a list of the most recent dog food recalls in the Dog Food Advisor’s database.
